THE NORTH RIDING PROJECT

It was 4 a.m. when a colleague gave Diaz the signal that federal authorities were on their way to retrieve González.  He quickly jumped from some bushes in the yard, ran through the front door and into the bedroom where Dalrymple and González were hiding in a closet.  When authorities busted down the door, his camera was in position.  His dramatic pictures were immediately transmitted to subscribers around the world.  “I was just doing my job,” Diaz said afterwards, “I did what I always do – I shoot pictures.”
